With the Assembly poll almost in sight, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved infrastructure projects worth more than Rs 10,000 crore, including the Versova-Madh bridge and concreting of roads, between the end of July and late August.

Concreting of roads in the western suburbs worth Rs 4,500 crore was approved in the last week of July. This work is part of the second phase of the civic body’s ambitious road concreting project. In July, the BMC also gave the nod for road repair work involving the use of concrete and mastic asphalt in the eastern suburbs worth Rs 1,502 crore.
